5 Easy Egg Dishes to Take Advantage of Easter Markdowns

The Easter holiday means you can stock up on eggs for an extremely low price. If you’ve filled your fridge with dozens of eggs, here are five easy recipes to help you use them all. Since protein packed eggs aren’t just for breakfast, you’ll find egg dishes perfect for any meal of the day, including dessert!

1. Dutch Pancake

Dutch pancakes are a simple breakfast recipe.

Ingredients

8 eggs

2 cups flour

2 cups milk

½ cup butter

Procedure

Whip the eggs, flour, and milk together until smooth. You can use a whisk or a blender.

Place the butter in a 9X13 pan.

Put the pan in the oven and preheat to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

When the oven is ready, use oven mitts and carefully remove the pan with the melted butter.

Carefully pour the prepared batter into the hot pan.

Put it back in the oven, and bake for twenty minutes.

Your Dutch pancake will puff up and be lightly browned. Remove it from the oven, and cut into squares to serve.

Top with maple syrup if desired!

2. Egg Salad Sandwiches

Egg salad sandwiches are the perfect solution for any extra hard boiled eggs you colored for an egg hunt. Just be sure the eggs haven’t been sitting out in the sun, or out of the fridge for more than a couple of hours.
